Friend of mine is going to Hong Kong and is able to get VCD'S quite cheaply, so I was wondering.... can a VCD be played on my computer's normal CD Rom player, and do I need any special software to do this?
Thanks in advance.

24464 2001-11-14 06:21:00 I have a heap of VCD's from HK, Philippines, Malaysia, etc. On this computer most but not all the VCD's will auto load. Those that auto load open on the screen there own on screen control panel with play, pause, etc being available. Whether the same would apply to your computer....? You might also be able to open a VCD via Mediaplayer or one of the other players. Guest (0)
